Hello,

I want to create a script to send an e-mail to a given address using PHP.
I have been reading I can use the PHP's built in mail() function, but in order to do that I have to specify the sendmail path (or whatever SMTP in used)

a) Does that mean I have to be running my MTA in the same machine where I have my LAMP?

I have also read that another solution to send mail is using the PHP PEAR's mail(http://pear.php.net/package/Mail)

b)If I use the latter, will I be able to use a remote MTA rather than a local one?

Any comments, suggestions,solutions, answers will be greatly apreciated.
